I wonder what can Favre tell people that can be of any worth.

Can’t any of my favourite Packers QBs just have normal off field lives? I don’t have a Love jersey yet so maybe that’s the key.

There is something fascinating about the truly bad weather games like this one, or the snow games where players can barely run and often don't even bother kicking.

A good opinion piece on Brett Favre and celebrity worship...

Brett Favre is an Example of Hero Worship Gone Wrong...

Also cringeworthy last night was listening to Al Michaels talking about how Deshaun Watson signing was controversial ... because it made the other owners uncomfortable. Ugh.

How was this man not put into the concussion protocol? Why was he playing tonight?

It was a hard tackle, but not extreme. So maybe indeed something was left from Sunday.

No maybe about it... he looked off all night. I hope the team/NFL/doctors get in trouble over it... although I suspect nothing will come of it other than some people talking about it.

Some talk about people suing the NFL. I wonder how much leverage some people may have to get that through.

They're playing on concrete with a thin green carpet over it. When your head bounces like Tua's did, helmet or no helmet, you're more than likely to get a concussion. I wasn't aware that there was such a thing as secondary head trauma (not the official name but my wording) and the thing with his fingers at the end is apparently a sign of it. That is what the concussion protocol would've picked up. The second concussion on top of the first one can have dire consequences.






Close up of what his fingers did.

Tua Tagovailoa rushed to hospital with head and neck trauma, will fly back tonight with Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins signal caller was sacked in the second quarter and his fingers suddenly started to contract, indicative of decorticate posturing: a typical symptom of severe head trauma.
